  • It would also be sustainable if browsers just added less features over time.

    The problem right now isn’t so much that the browser is a monstrously complex thing (whatever just fork Firefox), it’s that Chromium has 97% market share so anything Google decides to push becomes a de facto standard, and they use this position to push more new shit than a hobbyist org could ever keep up with.






  • It’s good. Like hydro power, the viability is going to be highly site-specific. But it’s a bunch of well known parts, so if some geological engineers say a particular pumped hydro installation makes sense, I’m going to trust them.

    I think battery and synthetic fuel technologies will continue to improve, and the range of places where pumped hydro is the better choice will shrink over time. But in the best sites, I expect it’s probably going to stay the most efficient choice for a very long time, the same way the biggest hydro power plants dwarf the biggest nuclear plants.
